This delightful audiobook brings together 16 of the Shakespeare's timeless tales for a younger generation, told with wit and panache.


Samantha Newman's cleverly reworked prose retellings retain many of Shakespeare's own inimitable turns of phrase, while simplifying and clarifying the language and plots to make stories accessible to children. Young readers can follow Puck on his mischievous midsummer adventures, hear the prophecy of the witches in Macbeth and be swept away by the romance of Romeo and Juliet.


Stories include:

- A Midsummer Night's Dream

- Romeo and Juliet

- Comedy of Errors

- Much Ado About Nothing

- Othello

- Macbeth

- The Tempest

And many more!


Perfect for children aged 7+
